The United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld Library in the Department of Global Communications would like to invite you to a virtual panel discussion: “From Pact to Progress: Open Science, Open Innovation and Digital Cooperation”, scheduled for Tuesday, 15 July 2025, 9:00 - 10:15 a.m. (ET). This is a side event to the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
The Pact for the Future was adopted by world leaders at the Summit of the Future in September 2024. It is a historic agreement and a renewed drive to achieve the SDGs, backed by actionable commitments. It promotes an open, fair and inclusive environment for scientific and technological development and cooperation worldwide, building trust in science and global cooperation in innovation. It aims to integrate a human rights perspective into regulatory and norm-setting processes for new and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence.
Building momentum toward the 4th United Nations Open Science and Open Scholarship Conference, this side event will convene diverse stakeholders and delegates to discuss the mechanisms through which equitable and inclusive knowledge systems can seize on opportunities provided by new and emerging technologies.
It presents a unique opportunity to draw deeper connections between Open Science and the Pact for the Future, continuing its important role in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

- Joyeeta Gupta, University of Amsterdam, Group of Ten High-level Representatives of Civil Society, Private Sector, and Scientific Community to Promote Science, Technology, and Innovation for the SDGs (10-Member-Group)
